Snowboard companies as ski companies

I saw this with mountain bikes and skis and I wondered what would the snowboard equivalent of some our favorite ski companies be?

Example: *snowboard company* would be Line

I know of brands but I’m pretty out of touch with the snowboarding scene, as far as that goes, so I’m curious.

Burton = Line.

Both brands helped push their respective sports into the culture, both are still prominent brands that most everyone likes, people who think they are super core look down on people who ride these brands.

What “core” skiers are looking down on people with lines?

people hate on line's durability a bunch but I havent ever seen people really look down on people who ski lines. they're pretty cheap and it seems like every park skier has owned a pair at some point.

I don't know much about snowboard culture but it seems like people hate burton a lot more for the way the company is run etc., whereas with line it's more about the quality of the ski

imo line is core as fuck they have been sponsoring cool street skiers since day 1

I’m a member of this Lib Tech Collectors FB Group. It’s 99.9% snowboards.

After reading on there, I am concluding that Lib Tech = Line aka fun with a following but they aren’t know for durability.

Lib tech = lib tech is too easy.
